You can easily feel all three of these bones:👉🏼 ILIUM – place your hands on your hips – these are the iliac bones you can feel👉🏼 ISCHIUM – deep in your buttocks are your sitting or ischial bones👉🏼 PUBIS – the bone you can feel at the lowest part of your abdomen#osteo #osteopathy #osteopath #anatomy #pelvis #humanbody ...

Ischial bursitis is a condition caused when the bursa (a fluid filled sac designed to promote smooth movement in the body) that sits between your sitting bone (ischium) and the gluteus maximus muscle becomes inflamed, leading to lower buttock pain and sometimes pain down the back of your thigh. You may be susceptible to this condition if you spend large parts of your day sat on hard surfaces.Luckily, this is quite a rare condition which mainly affects people who follow a sedentary lifestyle. What a great reason to get out there and be active!Cushion anyone?! 🤭#osteo #osteopathy #osteopath #bursitis #ButtockPain #pelvis #sittingbone ... See MoreSee Less

We are open! ... But, from 28th May - 3rd June (hopefully not longer!)... we can only provide face to face treatment to patients that require Essential Clinical Care. As in previous lockdowns, we are NOT permitted to provide routine care. Telehealth appointments are still available.

DHHS has provided us with the following information regarding patient eligibility to seek face to face treatment. So if you believe you fit the below description, please contact us to discuss making an appointment and we'll guide you towards finding a solution and the best outcome for you.

Essential Clinical Care eligibility requirements:
- To prevent a significant change/deterioration in functional independence which would result in an escalation of care needs (e.g. an increase in frequency of treatment needed, an increased need for prescription medication due to a significant increase in pain, requirement for specialist input or review, an increase in care needs, and/or a substantial increase to anticipated recovery time associated with a delay in receiving services)
- To provide assessment and diagnostic services to clients / patients whose care has been delayed as a result of previous restrictions, with any further delay likely to result in deterioration in functional independence or adverse health outcomes (including access to diagnostic imaging services or assessment for prescription of assistive equipment and technology)
- To provide services that are essential as part of a broader plan of care with a medical practitioner (e.g. fitting a brace post-surgery)
to provide services that are part of a conservative management plan to avoid or delay elective surgery (as agreed with treating team)
- To provide services immediately following elective surgery that prevents secondary complications or aids functional recovery (as agreed with treating team).

We know we've got this Inner Westies! So let's get in, get out and get on with our good-selves again.

Rolled your ankle a few too many times? It’s bes

Rolled your ankle a few too many times? It’s best to get these things looked at by a professional, because quite often a rolled ankle injury may have also injured some of the ligaments higher up the ankle at the base of the lower leg.
This typically occurs when you roll your ankle and twist or pivot at the same time, and is known as a ‘high’ ankle sprain. This injury is a little more complicated and needs to be managed properly from the get-go to ensure a full recovery. If you’ve hurt your ankle and need some help with recovery, please give us a call!

What is the difference between a bone and a ligame

What is the difference between a bone and a ligament?

Bones are the structures in the body that form the skeleton and provide attachment points for muscles, which help us to move when they contract. Bones are relatively hard and very strong.

Ligaments are soft tissue structures that attach bones to other bones to form joints. They are dense, strong and fibrous and can withstand the large forces placed upon our bodies when we move, to ensure we don’t collapse into a big heap of skin and bone!

Using an ice bath after exercise? What are the benefits? Research is inconclusive for absolute benefits, but some may include:

1. Recovery of sore muscles
2. Improved sleep and reduced fatigue
3. Reduced inflammation to aid a faster recovery

If you are unsure if you should use an ice bath, please speak to us first. Some people should not use an ice bath, such as those people with cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure.

Have you tried an ice bath before? Let us know in the comments!

Tight neck muscles? The scalene muscles in the sid

Tight neck muscles? The scalene muscles in the side of the neck are commonly tight and overworked. They help us move the neck/head and also help us breathe more efficiently. A simple stretch for these muscles is:

1. Place your right hand over the top of your head and rest on the left side of your head above the ear
2. Gently pull your head over to the right to bring your right ear to your right shoulder.
3. When you feel a stretch, hold for 30 seconds, relax and repeat
4. Perform on both sides

Have you heard of a Sportsman’s hernia? This is a painful lower abdominal and groin injury commonly seen in sports people who play sports that involve quick changes in direction and twisting… Think football or hockey! This problem involves injury to the wall of the abdomen, as well as a ligament and tendon in the front of the pelvic region. It is associated with pain in the groin during exercise, made worse with twisting or pivoting movements - and can happen in both women and men!
This condition is also known as Gilmore’s Groin and Athletic Pubalgia. If you are experiencing such symptoms, come and see us for an assessment.
